Nine Heavens

Niyaz purports to break new ground with Nine Heavens, which will be released in two versions. One will be the acoustic/electronic version embodying the original concept of the band, which is to bridge the gap between the traditional and modern by creating a finely-tuned balance of acoustic and electronic music. The second will be a solely acoustic version of the album, which will feature a more organic approach with a stronger emphasis on traditional acoustic instrumentation with added percussion. The intent is to make accessible to audiences who prefer the more acoustic approach when it comes to world music as well as fans of electronica, a version of the album which is more suitable to their individual palette.
